Replace all substring matches in a string
npm install replace-string> Replace all substring matches in a string
Similar to String#replace(), but supports replacing multiple matches. You could achieve something similar by putting the string in a RegExp constructor with the global flag and passing it to String#replace(), but you would then have to first escape the string anyways.
With Node.js 16, this package is partly moot as there is now a String#replaceAll method. However, it does not have a caseInsensitive option.
``
$ npm install replace-string
`js
import replaceString from 'replace-string';
const string = 'My friend has a 🐑. I want a 🐑 too!';
replaceString(string, '🐑', '🦄');
//=> 'My friend has a 🦄. I want a 🦄 too!'
`
Returns a new string with all needle matches replaced with replacement.
#### string
Type: string
The string to work on.
#### needle
Type: string
The string to match in input.
#### replacement
Type: string | Function
The replacement for needle matches.
If a function, it receives the matched substring, the match count, the original input, and the index in which the match happened (as measured from the original input):
`js
import replaceString from 'replace-string';
replaceString('Foo 🐑 Bar', '🐑', (matchedSubstring, matchCount, input, matchIndex) => ${matchedSubstring}❤️);`
//=> 'Foo 🐑❤️ Bar'
#### options
Type: object
##### fromIndex
Type: number\0
Default:
Index at which to start replacing.
##### caseInsensitive
Type: boolean\false
Default:
Whether or not substring matching should be case-insensitive.
